A new, simple method to approach enumerative questions about rational curves on rational surfaces is described. Applications include a short proof of Kontsevich's formula for plane curves and a the solution of the analogous problem for the…
We study a generalized Abreu Equation in $n$-dimensional polytopes and prove some differential inequalities for homogeneous toric bundles.
We construct examples of projective toric surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-polyhedral pseudo-effective cone, both in characteristic $0$ and in every prime characteristic $p$. As a consequence, we prove that the…
In a previous paper, we provided some update in the treatment of the finiteness theorem for rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type. In the present paper we present another improvement, introducing…
We prove a sharp inequality for toroidal hypersurfaces in three and four dimensional Horowitz-Myers geon. This extend previous results on Minkowski inequality in the static spacetime to toroidal surfaces in asymptotically hyperbolic…
We prove that any smooth rational projective surface over the field of complex numbers has an open covering consisting of 3 subsets isomorphic to affine planes.
Smooth real cubic surfaces are birationally trivial (over $\R$) if and only if their real locus is connected or, equivalently, if and only if they have two skew real lines or two skew complex conjugate lines. In such a case a…
In this research announcement we associate to each convex polytope, possibly nonrational and nonsimple, a family of compact spaces that are stratified by quasifolds, i.e. the strata are locally modelled by $\R^k$ modulo the action of a…
In this paper, we study the Severi varieties parametrizing integral curves of geometric genus one on polarized toric surfaces in characteristic zero and describe their irreducible components. We show that the irreducible components are in…
The generalized trigonometric functions occur as an eigenfunction of the Dirichlet problem for the one-dimensional $p-$Laplacian. The generalized hyperbolic functions are defined similarly. Some classical inequalities for trigonometric and…
We provide a combinatorial criterion for the finite generation of a valuation semigroup associated with an ample divisor on a smooth toric surface and a non-toric valuation of maximal rank. As an application, we construct a lattice polytope…
We investigate partial symmetry of solutions to semi-linear and quasi-linear elliptic problems with convex nonlinearities, in domains that are either axially symmetric or radially symmetric.
The convex shape contained in a disk having prescribed area and maximal perimeter is completely characterized in terms of the area fraction. The solution is always a polygon having all but one sides equal. The lengths of the sides are…
We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the K\"{a}hler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry…
Let $L$ be an ample line bundle over a smooth projective toric surface $X$. Then $L$ corresponds to a very ample lattice polytope $P$ that encodes many geometric properties of $L$. In this article, by studying $P$, we will give some…
While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…
We generalize Polya-Szego inequality to integrands depending on $u$ and its gradient. Under minimal additional assumptions, we establish equality cases in this generalized inequality. We also give relevant applications of our study to a…
We run an iteration argument due to Pramanik and Seeger, to provide a proof of sharp decoupling inequalities for conical surfaces and for $k$-cones. These are extensions of results \L aba and Pramanik to sharp exponents.
We provide an asymptotic estimate for the number of rational points of bounded height on a non-singular conic over the rationals. The estimate is uniform in the coefficients of the underlying quadratic form.
We investigate the average number of solutions of certain quadratic congruences. As an application, we establish Manin's conjecture for a cubic surface whose singularity type is A_5+A_1.
